them. The claim received the unqualified
approval of Commissioner Price and Secre-
tary Teller. In making report to-day of
the result of the conference between the
house and senate conferees on the Indian
sew crafty bill, Senator DAVIS said the most
important changes acceded to by the senate
was that the president might in his discre-

sale of Indian land should be invested al 3

Senator Philetus Sawyer was born in Whit
ing, Addison county, VT, Sept. %, 1916. His
father was a farmer and blacksmith and
lived at time and in q region where those
employments offered but little return. When
a mere child his father removed to Essex
county, New York, where the coming sena-
tors childhood and youth were passed among
the mountains and forests of the Adiron-
dacks. His early life, like that of most of the
dwellers in that region, was one of manual
labor, with only the opportunities for educa-
tion that the limited resources of the COM
mon schools of the time presented. AT the
age of II Philetus Sawyer bought his time for

why the Carson Appeal Declines to
Champion the Cause Of b Metal
Any Longer.
The Appeal is getting a triie weary OF
shouting for the silver interests Of Ne
vada. The editor Of the Appeal is not a
silver producer, he in a small and humble
way raises ~squashes and cabbages, but
does not dabble in the silver interests.
The other night he saw 81 bars of sill
yer bullion going down to San Francisco
on the cars. 1t looked as if these bars
of bullion from the Con. Virginia mine
and worth Sl40, 600, might be a contribu-
ton from the Bonanza firm to the Car
son Mint. But not so; they glided past
the Mint and sped over the mountains to
the Bay.
About two years ago the Appeal editor
attended a silver convention, and heard
a number Of long winded orators spout
on the "double standard" the "single
standard, " hi and "monometalism," "
etc., etc.
The whole State was reused over the
blows aimed at the silver industry, and
there was q great deal of noise and ex-
citement, and 1000 pamphlets were
printed. They talked on everything but
the main question.
A few months ago there was a meeting
of Carson citizens to petition the Presi.
dent to keep the Mint open and save the
State from bankruptcy.
A few days ago the Appeal printed a
letter from the Director of the Mint to
Senator Stewart, in which he said that
he would coin in the Carson Mint as
soon as there was enough silver on de-
post.
The men most interested in the silver
question are the Bonanza firm of this
State. They dig silver out of the ground
and sell it by the ounce, pound and ton.
1t is said that the closing of the Mint
gives silver q black eye and lowers it'
quotations in the markets OF the world,
Now if the silver producers of Nevada
don't care enough about their own bust
ness to keep what they produce and sell,
at high quotations in the markets OF the
world, this little journal is not a going te
burst an artery shouting for the silver
product. If the silver producers of this
State are short-sighted enough to keel
the Carson Mint closed and silver depre'
ciated (when they've got tons of it te
SELL it's their lookout, not ours.
If they want a silver organ, they car

mines in this State, to speak of.

THE SOLE P~ENsIONER.

The sole surviving representative Of
the Revolutionary War, as recognized by
the Government, says a Washington dis
patch, is Abigail s. Tilton, of North
Woodbridge, Rockingham county, N. H.
Out of the army of persons who are en-
titled to pensions she is the only n who
receives such as the wife of q soldier o.
the revolution. Mrs. Tilton is the widow
Of Benjamin Stevens, who, according tt
the musty records of the office, partici
pated in the battle Of Bennington, as q
member of Captain McConnell's com
pany, under the command of Genera
Stark. Mrs. Tilton is now a trife more
than one hundred years old. She wai
married q second time in 1921, but was
divorced and assumed her maiden name.
Her second marriage i~nvalidated hel
right to a pension as the widow of Ben
iamin Stevens, but the State Of New
Hampshire subsequently granted her an
allowance Of 81 a week for the remainder
of her natural life. About eight years
ago Congress further increased this by
the addition Of SIG u month, to be paid
to her as a special revolutionary pension,
it having been alleged that she is house
less, homeless and childless." The old
lady is represented as enjoying excellent
N
her mental and physical faculties. Until
q year ago three other relics Of ~revolu-
~tionary heirs drew similar pensions
through the Knoxville agency. But
they have all died within the past twelve
months, and Mrs. Tilton is now the
only link that is left connecting the Gov
eminent of to-day with the stormy scenes
of 1916.

Eastern hard-hitter still refused, whereupon
Cannon let his left go and struck his would

never returned the blow and thus the fight
